(
https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/product/fez/home) Fez is now free on Epic.
It's up there with Hyper Light Drifter as an essential game to have. I think I can say it's the best mix of open world exploration and platforming out there, one of the very best anyway. And its hook (you can spin the world in 90 degree arcs) and all the puzzles that that allows just adds to it. There's a ton of content, much more than you need to play the game--like the entire language of the world you can learn and decode that gives you a lot of backstory, but you don't have to, or little riddles about the world you can solve or not, and lots of hidden areas to find or not. Anyway, cool game. No excuse not to get it now if you don't already have it.

Epic keeps outdoing themselves with these freebies, but this week's giveaway is so great I'll be surprised if they ever top it. CELESTE AND INSIDE! Both are fantastic games, as I'm sure you've heard. If you haven't played em, now's the time.

(
https://www.humblebundle.com/) Humble Bundle are offering a real gem of a freebie right now:
Dirt Rally is free for the next three days! I'm not much of a racing fanatic, but Dirt Rally is by far the most fun racing game that I've ever played... well, at least of those racing sims that are supposed to be serious. :p There's quite a learning curve that might scare the most casual drivers and beginners, but once you get past that stage, it's a real pleasure. Dirt Rally is perfectly playable even with a gamepad (a proper wheel would give you a slight advantage though, I think!) so there's almost no excuse to not claim your freebie immediately. And while you're at it, feel free to add me to your friends, so that I can compare my stage times with someone. :D

The End is Nigh and Azbu free on Epic today.
Next up is Conarium, which is a game I had noted down as "maybe interesting, look at later".

So has anyone played End is Nigh? Any good?
Abzu is pretty but shallow.

It's Super Meat Boy with more exploration and the same wicked sense of humour. Less twitchy, perhaps, but not any less difficult. Good stuff.

Humble Bundle is giving away Endless Space for the next 44 hours!
Yay! (if you're into old turn-based strategy games)

If any of you missed the Endless Space giveaway, I got a key and can't use it because I've already got the game.
My only defense is, the way HB called it "Endless Space Collection", I thought it included DLC I didn't have or something, or why bother calling it a collection?
Anyway, long story short, if you want it and didn't get it from HB, PM me and I'll send the key. I think it lasts through the end of the week or so.
If several people PM me in the next day or few days, I may pick one based on inscrutable and entirely subjective criteria. :angel:
And I'll edit here when I've sent it off.

The newest Epic Games giveaway is Conarium. Some sort of a first person horror adventure game with a Lovecraft theme. Sounds really good to me, but then again so did Eldritch and that was pretty bad.
